Description

2rllsl~3 "Irrigation nozzle, particu~arly for Larqe-diameter pipes"
* * * * *
D E S C R I P T I Q N
The present invention relates to a noz~le, particu~arly for large-diameter pipes and thus a large ~ater de~ivery.
~ he use is kno~n of irrigation no2zles for normal ptpes having a diameter of half an inch up to a diameter equaL to three quarters of an inch.
Such nozzles are married at one extre~ity ~ith a union ~hich is in turn connected to the pipe at the other extremity.
Such coupling bet~een the nozzle and the union is generally made ~ith a quick-action coupling of a female part, in particular the union, ~ith a ~ale part, the nozzle.
Nozz~es of the kno~n type inc~ude an inner tubular casing ~hich can be supplied ~ith an irrigation li~uid as one extremity and provided ~ith radial openings for the outflo~ of the liquid at the other extremity, an externaL slee~c def;nin~
~ith said internal casing a delivery cha~ber of the ~iquid communtcating ~ith said cpenings and which can be scre~ed on and unscre~ed from the same 1n order to clsse and open in an adj~stab~e ~ay a c~ntra~ out~lo~ passage.
Such ~no~n solut1ons are not, ho~ever, suitab~e to be associated ~ith large-diameter feed p;pes and thus of large ~ater delivery. In such cases, ;ndeed, according to the position of the adjustment sleeve, either a very long water jet 2~-~181~3 is produc~d Jith ~hich it is possib~e to ~ater only a far point on ~hich the jet fa~s or a circular short-range fan-shaped jet is generated ~hich is characterized by a high out~et pressur~
which cannot but damage any plants or flo~ers to be irrigated.
The object o~ the present invention is that ~f accomplishing an irrigation nozzle ~hich is particularly suitable for use ~ith large-diameter pipes ~ithout giving rise to the above mentioned dra~backs According to the invention such object is attained by means of an irriga~ion nozzle, particularlr for large-diameter pipes, comprising first means for the creation o~ a ~ain iet having variable ~ength and conformation, said first means comprisin~ an interna~ tubul3r casing ~hich can be supplied ~ith an irrigation liquid at one extremity and provided ~ith radial openings for the ou~flou of the liquid at thê otner extre~ity and an external sleeve defining ~ith said internal casing a delivery chamber of the liquid communicating ~ith said openings and ~h~ch can be scre~ed on and unscre~ed fron the same to close and open 1n an adjustable ~ay a central outflo~
passage, characterized in that it aLso comprises sccont means for the creation of a plurality of secondary jets at reduced pressure round the c;rcum~erence ot said main jet said seccnd means comprising a termina~ ~a~ of said sLeeve provided ~ith a plurality of circumferentia~ly spaced ho~es and a cap rotatably superimposed over said termina~ ~a~ ot ~he slecve and in turn ~ ~18~3 provided ~ith a simiLar plurality ot c;rcumferentiaLLy spaced holes ~hich can be aligned or other~ise ~ith said holes of the terminaL ~all of the sleeve for their opening or closing, respectively, in reLation to the ang~Lar position of the cap It appears evident that in this ~ay the nozzle adds to the possibility of having a long lo~-pressure main jet or, as an alternative, a circular high-pressure jet in the shape of a fan as for the traditionaL nozzles, also that o~ produci~g in combination ~ith or as aLternative to said main jet a plurality of secondary low-pressure jets, even if the delivery is high, ~hich in the case of large-diameter pipes for~ an irrigation pattern having a comparatively limited force so as to avoid damage to plants and flo~ers to be irrigated It is thus possible to irrigàte at a distance ~hile, at ~he same time, also ~atering areas ~hich are nearer to the point of outfLo~ of the main jet or it is possibLe to provide for the possibility of ~atering ~;thout any damage extremely near areas such as flo~er-beds, etc The features of the present invent;on shall be made ~o~e 2D ev;dent by the foLlo~ing detailed descr;pt;on of a preterred embod;ment, illustrated as a non~ iting exa~pLe in the encLosed dra~ings, ~herein:

With reference to the dra~ings, and in particular to Fig.s 1 and 3, the ;rrigation nozzle indicated as a ~hole ~ith 20 comprises an internal tubular casing 1 ~hich can be supplied ~;th an irr;gation liquid at one extremity 2 and provided ~ith radial openings 3 for the outflou of the liquid at the other Z~ ext remi ty 4.
The nozzle Z0 a~so conprises an external sleeYe S ~hich has a ter~ina~ ~a~l 30 traversed by circumferentially spaced holes 11, an internal annular part 26 and an externa~ latcra~
~all 31 ~hich car. be scre~ed on and unscre~ed from said internal casing 1. The sleeve 5 defines ~ith s~id internal 2i~181~3 casing 1 a delivery chamber 6 of the liquid co~unicat;ng ~ith said radial openings 3 By scre~ing and unscreuing the sleeve 5 closing and opening is effected of a central passage 7 for the outflo~ of the liquid ~hich is defined bet~een said internal annular uall 26 of the sleeve and a terminal appendix Z7, substantiaLly in the shape of a mushroom, of the internal casing 1 The closed position is defined by thc engage~ent of said internal annular ~all 26 of the sleeve 5 ~ith an annular gas~et 35 applied to the base of the terminal appendix Z7 of the interna~ casing 1 Bet~een the internal casing 1 and the external ~ateral ~all 31 of the sleeve there is acccmplished a further hydraulic seal by means of an annular gasket 37 on the termina~ uall 3û of the sleeve S there is plac~d a cap 10 formed by a lateral annular ~all 39 rotatably coupled to the external lateral ~alL 31 of the sleeve S and a front annular ~all 39 traversed by a p~urality of circumferentially spaced holes 9 ~hich can be aligned or o~her~ise ~ith said holes 11 of the front annular ~all 30 of the s~e~ve 5 for their opening or closing in relation to the angular posittan of the cap 10 As can be seen in Fig.s 1, 3 and 6, the rotation of the cap 10 is allo~ed bet~een t~o extre~e angular positions defined by the engagement of an axial protuberance 41 of the latera~ ~all 38 of the cap 10 ~ith a lateraL protuberance 4~ of the external lateral ~aLl 31 of the sleeve 5.
As shown in Fig.s 4, 5, the holes 9 on the annu~ar ~a~l 39 Z~1~81~3 of the cap 10 are surrounded by divergent ~alls 42 ~hich def;ne a V-shaped channel for the direction of the individual j~ts iss~ing from the holes Fig s 2, 3, 7, 8, sho~ the system for connecting the nozzle ZQ to a quick-action union 44 for a large-diameter fLexible pipe accomplished according to the patent application No 19494 A/89 filed on 20 Fe~ruary 1989 in the name of the sane Applicant Said union 44 co~prises a tubular casing 52, ~hich can be fastened to a flexible pipe 70 by ~eans ot a ring nut 50 ~hich is scre~ed onto a threaded part 53 to hold the flexib~e pipe, fitted over an extremity, not sho~n, of said tubu(ar casing 52 Said union 44 is endo~ed ~ith an internal lateraL ~all 37 in ~hich there is obtained a plurality of axial grooves Z3, circumferentially spaced, each of ~hich has at its side a respective seat 60 for receiving, by an axial s~iding action and subsequent rotation, a rib 22 forming part of a pLurality of circumferentially spac~d ribs, pro~r~ding in a radial direction opposite the extremity 2 of the internal casing 1.
In particu~ar each o~ the ribs Z2 is heLd inside its respective seat 60 by the engagement of one extremity 64 of the respective rib 22 against a shouLder 65 of the respective tera~ ~a~ 6Q
To lock the ribs 22 inside seats 60 the nozzle 2Q is provided ~ith a slidable tang 25 to ~hich is attached a control 2~ 3 cursor 24 and ~hich can be inserted into the ribs Z3 of union 44 to lock the nozz~e Z0 in the rotated position.
n order to use the nozz~e 20 it is first oS al( necessary to connect the nozz~e 20 to the respective union 44. Such operation occurs in a ~ay ~no~n in itself of the above patent application No 19494 A/89.
For the ~reation of the main delivery jet it is necessary to rotate the external sleeve 5 round the internal tubular casing 1 so as to cause, fo~ouing the ~ove~ent of the interna~
tubular ~all 26 of the s~eeve S a~ay fron the terminal appendix 27 of the internal casing 1, the opening of the c~ntra~
de~ivery passage 7; in relation to said opening the length and the conformation of the main outflo~ deli~ery jet is adjusted.
It is also possib~e to create a p~ural;ty oS secondary reduced-pressure jets surrounding said 0ain jet. For this purpose it is necessary to rotate the cap 10 in order to align the holes 9 on the front annular ~all 39 ~ith the correspondin~
holes 11 of the front annular ~all 30 of the sleeve 5.
~f desired, the secondary ~e~s can replace the ~ain jet by executlng the closing of the central passage 7 by rotation of slee~e 5.
